How can I travel to Taiwan?

The scenery in Taiwan is particularly beautiful, and the quality of the people in Taiwan is also relatively high. You must apply for a pass to go to Taiwan. Free travel is definitely not possible at the moment. If free travel is allowed, I personally think it would be the most beautiful and best to go directly to Kenting after visiting Taipei and spend a vacation on the Pacific coastline and the place where you live.

What pitfalls should you pay attention to when traveling to Taiwan?

The most important thing to pay attention to when traveling to Taiwan is the fresh-cut fruit stalls at Shilin Night Market.

The fresh-cut fruit stall at Taipei Shilin Night Market

A tourist attraction in Taiwan is the fresh-cut fruit stall at Taipei Shilin Night Market. I want to say: Absolutely, never buy fruit from the fresh-cut fruit stalls at Taipei’s Shilin Night Market. Because the fresh-cut fruit stall at Shilin Night Market has been in the news for years and is suspected of killing tourists! Moreover, this situation is difficult to change.

The fresh-cut fruit stall at Shilin Night Market sells fruits by washing them thoroughly before selling them. This is originally a very considerate service, but the pricing unit of the fresh-cut fruit stall at Shilin Night Market is NT$XX per 100g, not the NT$ per catty (600g) commonly used in Taiwan. So, at first glance, the cheaper unit price is actually a 6 times difference. In addition, there are nearly 20 fresh-cut fruit stalls inside and outside Shilin Night Market, which almost monopolize the same price, which means everyone bids high and tourists cannot compare. Tourists may have to spend hundreds or nearly 1,000 Taiwan dollars to buy some random fruits, and these fruits have been cut, so customers don’t need to buy them.

Why is this situation so difficult to change?

Because according to the regulations of the Taipei City Government or the regulations of Taiwan, merchants must clearly mark their prices. As long as the price is stated, it is up to the merchant to decide how expensive it is. The fresh-cut fruit stalls at Shilin Night Market are all priced according to the prescribed prices. As for how expensive it is, they are willing to fight and get hurt.

The reason why merchants dare to set such prices is because most of the customers at Shilin Night Market, or those who go to Shilin Night Market to buy fresh-cut fruits, are tourists, that is, customers who only come to buy once. . Businessman Tang doesn't have to worry about customers being cheated and affecting the next sale, because he only needs to do business once.

The ugly behavior of the fruit peeling stall at Shilin Night Market is basically a shame for Taiwan. Every once in a while it explodes. However, even when Ke Wenzhe was mayor, it still could not be solved.
